-- TO MY FRIENDS --
Every person in the SGI
has a leading role to play.
Instead of just one person taking
100 steps forwards,
let's try to focus on 100 people
each taking one step forwards
There definitely is a victorious drama
Tuesday, October 8th, 2019
--- DAILY GOSHO ---
Insure the future propagation of the Lotus Sutra so that it can be made available to all the children of the Buddha in times to come.

President Ikeda's Message
to the Mirai-bu Leaders Meeting

"'The heart of the practice of the Lotus Sutra,' Nichiren Daishonin clearly explains, lies in respecting people just as bodhisattva never disparaging did and being exemplary in our behaviour as human beings (cf. WND – 1, 852).
"This practice starts with reaching out to people, believing in their Buddha nature, and treating them with genuine courtesy and consideration. Though some may not respond positively to our sincere efforts, our profound respect for them is certain to touch their inherent Buddha nature. At the same time, we need to fight — with courage, wisdom and tenacity — against devilish functions that devalue people and bring misery and misfortune."

"Every realm of human activity requires practice. Those who engage earnestly in that practice and gain mastery in their chosen field are fulfilled and vibrant. "'The heart of the practice of the Lotus Sutra,' Nichiren Daishonin clearly explains, lies in respecting people just as bodhisattva never disparaging did and being exemplary in our behaviour as human beings (cf. WND – 1, 852).
